A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND A POSITIVE CONVERSATION BY JOYCE MEYER

ALL I DID WAS WASTE A LOT OF MY TIME AND MAKE MYSELF MISERABLE WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN ENJOYING MY LIFE IF I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO DO SO, BUT JOYCE MEYER HAD TO TAKE THE RIGHT POSTURE TOWARD THE SITUATION. (applause) I DON’T KNOW WHAT SOME OF YOU ARE DEALING WITH BUT I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING FOR SURE: HAVING A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD IT IS ONLY GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE AND IT’S ONLY GOING TO MAKE YOU UNHAPPY. CHOOSING TO HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND A POSITIVE CONVERSATION WILL MAKE YOU HAPPIER, WILL MAKE EVERYBODY AROUND YOU HAPPIER, AND WILL RELEASE GOD TO WORK IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE GOD IS NOT NEGATIVE. IF WE WANT TO HAVE GOD MANIFESTED IN OUR LIFE THEN WE’VE GOT TO GET IN AGREEMENT WITH HIM.

JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES STATES THAT AMOS 3:3 SAYS: HOW CAN TWO WALK TOGETHER UNLESS THEY GET INTO AGREEMENT? WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES ONCE IN A WHILE: WHO ARE WE IN AGREEMENT WITH? ARE WE AGREEING WITH EVERY LIE THE DEVIL TELLS US AND EVERY THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCE THAT HE SHOWS US OR ARE WE AGREEING WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND THE PROMISES OF GOD? I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY ONE OF OUR LIVES IF WE COULD BE TOTALLY POSITIVE? LET’S THINK ABOUT THAT FOR JUST A MINUTE. I’M A GOAL-ORIENTED PERSON SO I LIKE PROJECTS. I LIKE TO SAY: OKAY, GOD, TODAY I’M GOING TO TRY TO BE TOTALLY POSITIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING. ARE ANY OF YOU LIKE THAT? OR I’LL SAY: OKAY, TODAY, GOD, I’M GOING TO TRY TO NOT SAY ONE THING THAT IS ANYTHING OTHER — I USED TO TRY TO NOT SAY ONE THING; THAT DIDN’T WORK AT ALL – (laughing)

I’M GOING TO TRY TO BE SWEET ALL DAY. EVERYTHING I SAY, I’M JUST GOING TO TRY TO BE REALLY RESPECTFUL AND HONORING. JOYCE MEYER ONLINE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING GOALS AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRYING TO COOPERATE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AS LONG AS YOU DON’T GET CONDEMNED EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A MISTAKE. I USED TO THINK I COULD CHANGE MYSELF. I KNOW THAT ONLY GOD CAN CHANGE ME. PROBABLY PART OF THE REASON WHY I DO THAT IS JUST BECAUSE OF MY NATURE. I’M MOTIVATED BY ACCOMPLISHMENT AND I’M A VERY GOAL-ORIENTED PERSON.
